Points of Interest

The tour of Rodeo Drive starts with taking in some architecture and film history at the north end of the walk. The building for the Paley Center for Media was designed by Richard Meier, the New York-based architect who designed the Getty Center in L.A., as well as the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art in Spain.

The Paley Center, with another... More location in New York, aims to examine the "intersections between media and society." It features daily screenings of TV shows and special events. You can also make a reservation at the front desk to use the library, which features an extensive collection of individual TV and radio programs.

Architecture buffs might like to head toward the Anderton Court Shops, which were designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It features a triangular-shaped tower and spiral ramp that's very "Wright," but some of the structure has been changed over time to keep up with building standards.

Located on the second floor inside the fancy and European-looking Two Rodeo shopping complex, Urasawa is one of the best-rated Japanese restaurants in all of Los Angeles. If you're looking to truly splurge, the sushi can't be beat. But be mindful--meals can range up to $500 a person with tax and tip, so this is no "cheap eats" stop. I... More include it here so that if you happen to be a huge Japanese food fan and aren't scared off by the prices, you'll have an amazing dining experience.

Two Rodeo is a cluster of high-fashion name-brand stores (Think Versace and Jimmy Choo, which both have stores here) located on a pedestrian-only cobblestone shopping arcade. It has a lovely, highly romantic Euoropean feel and is a great place to be when the weather is fine (which, let's not delude ourselves, is almost every day in L.A.!). A... More number of films and TV shows have been filmed here, including "Hollywood Homicide," with Harrison Ford, and HBO's "Entourage."

Some call it a "quintessential L.A. dining experience." Open for lunch and dinner, Spago Beverly Hills is the flagship restaurant of the Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group. Seasonal menus rotate out fish and produce daily.

With a glass wall kitchen and plenty of entertainment industry people dining here, the eyes will have a lot to take in... More, as well as the stomach. The service is friendly and the food is world class. But, like most of everything in the area, you can expect to spend more than you would back home.

9. Beverly Hills Trolley

If you'd rather see Rodeo Drive on wheels, I'd highly suggest taking the Beverly Hills Trolley, run by the city of Beverly Hills. Departing on the hour from the southeast corner of Rodeo Drive and Dayton Way, hop aboard the Beverly Hills Trolley for a 40-minute narrated tour of all the sights of the area.

End the tour with a nice relaxing stop at this Four Seasons hotel and even enjoy dinner or a cocktail at one of the best people-watching restaurants in the area.

If you've seen the film "Pretty Woman," you might recognize this hotel as where Richard Gere and Julia Roberts found love. To start the people watching off right, go inside... More and have a drink or meal at The Blvd, an all-day restaurant with large windows that open onto Rodeo Drive, and a sidewalk patio area, which allows for great, laid-back views of the goings on at the busy corner of Rodeo Drive and Wilshire.
